Earthworm Castings, Organic Fertilizer from Humble Earthworms

Organic Fertilizer from Earthworms - Pam Beck
Earthworms are tiny, but they make a tremendous impact on your garden.

Earthworms are the ultimate recyclers of the natural world. They take the debris and litter of the garden and digest it, creating a perfect soil conditioner in their waste, which is called “castings”.

Castings can be used as a top dressing for container gardens, amended directly into your soil, or steeped into a nutrient-rich manure tea.

If you don’t have an over-abundance of earthworms, this ideal organic fertilizer is still available for vegetable gardens and ornamental landscapes as Black Gold® Earthworm Castings.

Put the vigor of earthworm castings to work in your garden.
